She starts first kick and all gears are present. The frame is all straight with the suspension working as it should. The bodywork will need attention and a new clutch cable will be required. A fantastic opportunity to acquire a very rare trials machine built in limited numbers at the iconic HRC Honda factory.

It was designed for expert-level competition, incorporating lessons from Eddy Lejeune’s world championship-winning RTL360. With only a few hundred units produced, it remains one of the rarest and most collectible Honda trials machines.
